Ransom Notes Keep Falling Out Your Mouth
Category: Random Updates
Oops, another 2 months without a post. Time to play catch up.
1 year anniversary was fantastic. I highly recommend Horshoe Bay for anyone looking for a nice vacation place near Austin. We went waverunning, spent time at the pool and psuedo-beach, had a few nice meals and some incredible desserts, and just had an all around great weekend. I very appropriate way to celebrate one full year of marriage.
Built my mom a website, working on one for Katie and one for Cameron. Also hoping to have a paying client soon, but waiting to hear back from them.
Teamworks is amazing. I absolutely love it. I know I already gushed about it in my last blog post from two months ago, but time has only made my heart grow fonder. God forbid, if anything ever happened to my current job, I'd be applying at IBM for a position as a Teamworks developer. :P It's fun, intuitive, and extremely useful. I get to work on a pretty time-intensive project in TW for the next couple of months, so that should keep me interested at work.
College football - less than 3 weeks away! Conference realignment stuff kinda fizzled, if you weren't keeping up. Colorado and Nebraska are leaving the Big 12 for the Pac 10, but Texas is staying put. Should be a fun season with Gilbert taking the reins of the offense and waiting to see if one or two running backs step up and become the primary RB. The defense should be stout, though. Any worries I have about the offense should be offset by how awesome the defense is going to be. OU and Nebraska worry me, but if we take one out of two of those games, we should get through the rest of our schedule without much trouble and still have a good shot at going to the conference championship game. (I really need to finish up my Garrett Gilbert website...)
Celebrate Recovery is going well. It's helping me put the focus in my life back where it needs to be - on God. Too often my spiritual life becomes a footnote or afterthought, instead of being the primary focus and everything else being in relation to it. It helps to have a bunch of guys who understand the kind of stuff I'm dealing with and are encourage me. If you don't know what CR is or have never been, check it out. There isn't a single person that couldn't benefit from going.
New house! We got all moved in a little over a week ago, and got the last necessary piece of furniture moved in last night (refrigerator). The house is really starting to take shape. If you haven't seen it yet, look out for pictures soon.
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
~Isaiah 58:8-9a
Time to see what we have time to see

ginni and I celebrate our 1 year anniversary this weekend. We are going to Horseshoe Bay Resort and we are very excited. It's been the best year of my life, and I know next year will only be better.
I've been on a coding hiatus lately. No particular reason, I just haven't felt motivated/inspired. On my To Do List for web stuff include adding Category/Tag clouds on my site, pictures on both ginni's site and mine, as well as making my mom a new website (not to mention AptFinder).
I've fallen in love with a new piece of software: Teamworks. It's a business process management tool and is very cool. It has a GUI that is as simple as a flow chart to map out a business process, but has the coding complexity to implement functional applications. Recently, I've had to force myself to work on stuff that isn't Teamworks, or I'd get nothing else done.
College football is crazy lately. All the conference realignment talk is keeping the off-season rather interesting, for sure. In case you haven't been keeping up: as of now, the Big 12 is down to 10 teams (Nebraska left for the Big Ten, Colorado for the Pac-10). Despite rumors of Texas, Tech, OU, and Okie State joining Colorado out west, these schools announced that they are staying in the Big 12 and will keep the conference going. I wouldn't doubt if this wasn't the end of it, though. I foresee 4 Super Conferences forming some time within next 3 or 4 years.
Not much else to say except that the Rangers only a couple of weeks out from the All-Star Break. Yeah, I know.
Into the darkness you shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There is no one like You
None like You
